Windows Phone 7 Re-Brands Itself….Again
What was once “Windows Mobile” then “Windows Phone 7 Series”, is now settled at “Windows Phone 7″ for the newly reinvigorated OS (that has still yet to officially launch). No word yet on the effect this re-branding will have, if any, on their ongoing marketing strategy and eventual rollout of the platform. But with all the hype around Android and iPad, and to a lesser extent, Blackberry, right now, I’m not sure many will actually notice the change. But I’m glad Microsoft has decided to go with a name that’s not only easy to remember, but easier to market.
Does this name change make you want to try the new OS out even more? Leave a comment letting us know.

Today is a pretty special day at TCG. We have been given the chance to look at Windows Phone 7 running on a few pre-production hardware models. The phone that I am using at the moment is a pre-production Samsung phone running on Rogers, but there are a couple floating around. Throughout the day we

There has been much talk of Apple and Blackberry of recent, but what about Microsoft and their re-invigorated OS now known as Windows Phone 7? Other than the odd device pop-up, the actual performance and usability have been shrouded in secrecy, with only potential launch dates being announced to the public. If you are a die-hard Windows

QuestionsView Results Ok, so the poll results aren’t exactly going to turn a lot of heads here. I mean, most people haven’t even seen a Windows Phone 7 device in person, and to truly appreciate a new phone platform it needs to be used. Couple that with the fact that Windows Mobile has left a

Not necessarily- (okay; no, not at all). Though I am interested in 'checking out' the new WP7, but I doubt that it'll switch me from Android.
